As South Dakota’s largest city and fastest growing metropolitan area, Sioux Falls offers everything from good food and cultural experiences in its bustling downtown to nature adventures like hiking and rafting.

Sioux Falls, SD has something for everyone. It is an especially ideal destination for the nature and adventure lover. If you enjoy the outdoors, consider visiting the Blood Run Native American historical site. The lovely landmark is an island of hilly natural beauty on the banks of the Big Sioux River. Just a few miles southeast of the city, the site was recognized by the National Park Service as worthy of state park status. Though its appearance is wild, upon looking closely at the land one can see evidence of human habitation. Members of the Oneota indigenous peoples – among them the Omaha, Ioway, Oto and Yankton Sioux tribes – lived in this area from 1300-1700 AD. Most of the park is home to native forests.  For the history buff and the curioso alike, EscapeWizard.com recommends a visit to Fort Dakota, built in 1865, which is now a historic site in present-day downtown.

If you like athletic activity and fun in the sun, check out the Catfish Bay water ski park or the Wild Water West Waterpark. If your tastes tend more toward museums and cultural enrichment, EscapeWizard.com suggests a visit to the Old Courthouse Museum. And people of all tastes and ages will enjoy the awesome Great Plains Zoo. The zoo has over a thousand animals; visit tiger cubs at their Asia Cat exhibit, and make sure to check out their large array of primates.

And if you needed one last reason to be excited about your visit to Sioux Falls – get ready for some great shopping! Shopping is fun everywhere, but downtown Sioux Falls contains the famous Empire Mall, along with streets and centers full of your favorite stores and some you can only visit here. And at night, check out a comedy club or go dancing at one of the great venues downtown. Try and wake up early the next day, though – there are farmer’s markets in Sioux Falls where you can get great local produce and flowers year-round.

Start planning your trip now on EscapeWizard.com! Get excited for the beautiful terrain, lovely weather, and endless possibilities for fun in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
